I reckon there's a great opportunity for someone to do a "Goof" replica. J

Got me thinking of creating a top 10-15 list of iconic Aussie bikes amd then assigning them to people to get them replicated. KB has already done Trevors YZ. Agree with Johns Marty Moates build. Not hard to come up with a few others. Gary Floods MK7 250(with laid down shox) Stan S is doing the Gary O'Brien Montesa if he ever gets a chance. Over to you guys. Cheers Jerry

No need to do a replica as the bike is still around.
